This book presents new research related to climate change policies and effects. It discusses the implications of climate change on issues pertaining to international relations and economic development, and the question of how climate change could jeopardize the international system as we have known it until today. It aims to provide an empirical basis and epistemological framework to discuss the effects of climate change on economic growth, social development and welfare as a global phenomenon influenced by policies carried out transnationally and by national governments. Case studies from around the globe are presented.

The Brazilian berimbau, a musical bow, is most commonly associated with the energetic martial art/dance/game of capoeira. This study explores the berimbau's stature from the 1950s to the present in diverse musical genres including bossa nova, samba-reggae, MPB (Popular Brazilian Music), electronic dance music, Brazilian art music, and more. Berimbau music spans oral and recorded historical traditions, connects Latin America to Africa, juxtaposes the sacred and profane, and unites nationally constructed notions of Brazilian identity across seemingly impenetrable barriers. The Berimbau: Soul of Brazilian Music is the first work that considers the berimbau beyond the context of capoeira, and explores the bow's emergence as a national symbol. Throughout, this book engages and analyzes intersections of musical traditions in the Black Atlantic, North American popular music, and the rise of global jazz. This book is an accessible introduction to Brazilian music for musicians, Latin American scholars, capoeira practitioners, and other people who are interested in Brazil's music and culture.
PRODUTOS EDUCACIONAIS: Possibilidades e Desafios na EPT reúne textos que abordam com criatividade e rigor metodológico modos de como tornar o processo ensino-aprendizagem mais dialógico, como tornar o ambiente escolar mais agradável e como tornar os estudantes partícipes da gestão do orçamento, da construção dos projetos políticos e pedagógicos. Enfim, os produtos trazem o game, o movimento maker, a sequência didática, as oficinas de cordel, a realização de resenhas e de seminários como estratégias para envolver discentes e docentes na ação de educar. O livro resulta das pesquisas que partiram de um olhar sobre as práticas pedagógicas e de um resgate da gestão e da memória do Instituto Federal de Sergipe a fim de atingirem o alvo que é a construção de uma educação politécnica. Uma educação que se destina aos filhos dos trabalhadores brasileiros e, por isso, se propõe a ser pública, de qualidade e inclusiva. Seus capítulos demonstram que ciência, tecnologia e cultura podem (e devem) andar sempre juntas na produção de conhecimento.\
